ILANGA Redye: We transform food waste into sustainable color for textile & garments with our scalable natural dyeing services.

Give natural color to textiles - from first creation to second life.
We help brands and designers build sustainability into every step of their journey.
Whether you're breathing new life into unsold inventory or naturally dyeing your textiles & garments from the very beginning, we help you create designs that's kinder to the planet.
Using plant-based dyes made from food waste like coffee grounds and onion skins, we offer two paths to circular design: upcycling existing stock into fresh, sellable collections, or integrating natural dyeing into your process from the start.
Either way, you reduce waste, embrace non-toxic color, and strengthen your brand's sustainability story.
Our Process
-
Sourcing
We collect food waste from cafés, restaurants, and food suppliers.
-
Extraction
We process ingredients like onion skins, avocado pits, and coffee grounds to create rich, plant-based dyes.

Your re-dyed and upcycled pieces return as a limited-edition, eco-conscious line, ready for (re)sale.
